Twas the night before Surgery...


I made it! Did not cheat at all! Not even once! Very proud consider I had 2 birthday parties, and my own 29th birthday! =) I have learned so much about myself in these last two weeks during my pre-op liquid diet. I have learned how much control food had on my life. I eat pretty healthy and workout often but it was EXTREAMLY hard the first 3 days to detox and get off caffeine and carbs! I still can’t believe it’s been 2 weeks since I have had a cup of coffee, never could I imagine my life without it.
I feel soooooo much better now and it still blows my mind how little I need every day to feel great! These protein shakes fill me up and are low cal and carb. I think it is something that will stay with me.
How I did with March Goals:
#1- Getting into the habit of taking all my vitamins- was really easy actually! When I had to stop 1 week                         prior to surgery it was hard to remember NOT to take them!
#2- Stick to pre-op Diet – Now this was very hard at times! But I made it! I did it! I feel so much better now! However I am VERY glad it’s over =)
#3-Give up coffee – this one was the one I dreaded most! But I have switched to Caffeine free herbal teas, and I have not missed coffee much, won’t say completely. Amazing everyone around me didn’t kill me in the process.
#4- Lose 10 pounds pre-op, this was my goal, not a goal my doctor set. I’m happy to report that I have lost 11.4 Pounds =) Yippee GO ME!
